Sourcing of materials include primary and secondary containers as well as as master boxes/shippers. Design development may include brand logo renditions, primary label design and label text as per client requirement. Our graphic design services are available to all clients.
Product Stability Tests
We perform stability testing on all products as it is necessary to ensure the product is of acceptable quality throughout its entire storage period. Accelerated stability tests also known as normal or exploratory stability, has the objective of providing data to foresee the stability of the product, its useful life span, and the compatibility of the formulation with the containing material. This is done by subjecting product samples to heating with temperature range up to 50°C should the product be left at normal room temperature ensuring no spoilage. Generally, the parameters to be evaluated are as follows:
​
-
Organoleptic parameters: appearance, color, odor and flavor, whenever applicable;
-
Physical-chemical parameters: pH value, viscosity, density, and in some cases, the monitoring of formulation ingredients;
-
Microbiological parameters: microbial count and challenge test of the preserving system.
These tests are applied in the development phase of the product on a laboratory scale and to pilot manufacturing batches and the test may be extended to cover the initial production. It can also be carried out whenever there are any significant alterations made to ingredients of the product and/or the manufacturing process, or to the containing material that comes into direct contact with the product, or in order to validate new equipment used for manufacturing the product.
Product Usage Tests
Appropriate usage tests (placement Tests, Usage Attitude, Image Survey, Comparative Blind Tests) may be conducted to substantiate efficacy of products developed and to gain early indication of acceptance of the product/s developed to a group of respondents that represent the client's target market. Testing fees apply.
Regulatory Compliance
Preparation and submission of protocol papers to appropriate government agencies (i.e. FDA/) Certificate of Analysis produced for all products and Material Safety Data Sheets produced on request.
We do not test products that we do not manufacture, we request product samples from customers in order to match the quality and performance of the placebo product.
We offer an array of testing services on the product we produce only. For our testing services and prices kindly request via email at info@lamarella.com
